COLLEGE PROFILE 

Moving Forward 

In just over a quarter of a century, Indiana Vocational Technical College, popularly known as Ivy Tech, 
has grown from an idea to a thriving post-secondary institution. In 1963, the Indiana General Assembly 
established Ivy Tech as Indiana's first statewide vocational technical college by appropriating $50,000 
for its development. Following appointment of a State Board of Trustees, a president was named and the 
first training program established in 1965. Later amendments to the enabling legislation authorized Ivy 
Tech's present regional structure of thirteen administrative centers designed to provide accessible tech- 
nical educational opportunities to all Indiana citizens. Between 1966 and 1969 thirteen regional boards 
of trustees were appointed and thirteen regions chartered. 

The mission of Ivy Tech is stated in the authorizing legislation: "There shall be, and hereby is created 
and established, a new state post-high school educational institution to be devoted primarily to occu- 
pational training of a practical, technical, and semi-technical nature for the citizens of Indiana." 

Ivy Tech's mission was broadened in 1 971 by the added authority to grant diplomas and certificates, 
including one-year Technical Certificates and two-year Associate degrees, to students successfully com- 
pleting prescribed programs. Furthermore, the College was granted permission to offer general education 
courses for vocational technical education programs. 

The College has shown impressive growth in its relatively short history. Enrollment increased from 
3,233 students in the fall quarter of 1968 to 28,924 in the fall of 1989. 

Ivy Tech serves the following target population groups: 

(1) students who have not graduated from high school; 

(2) high school graduates interested in continuing their education in a vocational-technical type insti- 
tution with programs of shorter duration than a four-year college program; 

(3) students who have not completed college work; 

(4) college graduates interested in supplementing their education with vocational-technical training; 

(5) adults needing and desiring retraining or additional training in a vocational-technical specialty. 

Within the statewide Ivy Tech system, some 1 ,500 full- and part-time faculty members teach in more 
than 50 program areas offered in four instructional divisions: Business, Office and Information Systems 
Technologies; Visual Communications Technologies; Human Services and Health Technologies; and 
Applied Science and Technologies. 

The College's regional offices of Business and Industry Training work closely with Indiana businesses 
to offer customized training and retraining in response to specific company needs. These training pro- 
grams are available at Ivy Tech or in-plant. 

College Goals 

In order to focus on the mission of the College more specifically and to enable the means and processes 
to be developed by which this mission will be accomplished, the College has formulated seven goals. 
These goals, as adopted by the State Trustees in June 1985, are as follows: 

1 . The College will offer, through a flexible delivery system, education consistent with the economic 
development needs of the State of Indiana. 

2. The College will offer a range of occupationally oriented programs with multiple entry and exit 
opportunities as well as a range of student services consistent with the individual student's interets, 
needs and abilities. 

3. The College will strive to provide the opportunity for citizens of the state to enroll in the College 
regardless of their financial resources, previous educational experiences or geographic location. 

4. The College will strive to provide the opportunity for each applicant to gain occupational competence 
regardless of age, race, sex, or religious affiliation. 

5. The College will promote throughout the State of Indiana a better understanding and appreciation 
of the value of occupationally based education and will encourage increased support for this education. 

6. The College will provide within its occupational program offerings educational experiences sup- 
portive of the social, cultural, and personal development of the individual. 

7. The College will strive to cooperate with other providers of occupationally oriented education in all 
educational sectors. 

Ivy Tech's rapid growth and educational achievement can be attributed to firm adherence to its mission 
and goals and to strong support and encouragement from state and community leaders.

COLLEGE INFORMATION AND SERVICES 



ENTERING THE COLLEGE 

Admissions — Non — Degree Objective 

Ivy Tech offers courses in many special career areas, 
including college preparation. Persons interested in taking 
any of the Ivy Tech courses are invited to do so. Admis- 
sion as a non-degree student is easy. Simply file a com- 
pleted registration form in the Office of Student Services 

Admissions — Degree Objective 

For admission as a regular student to one of Ivy Tech's 
programs leading to an Associate Degree or Technical 
Certificate, the standard requirement is a high school 
diploma or GED certificate. The Office of Student Ser- 
vices will assist the student, on request, in obtaining an 
official copy of the diploma or GED certificate, which 
must be issued from the previously attended institution. 

Applicants are advised to participate in assessment 
testing. The purposes of assessment testing are to 
measure the student's achievement in basic skills areas 
of mathematics, reading, writing, reasoning, and com- 
munication, and, secondly, to assist the student in the 
selection of an occupational program. If assessment 
indicates that the applicant has the basic skills needed 
for success in the chosen program he/she may be allowed 
to begin program level coursework. If the assessment 
reveals skill deficiencies, the applicant will be advised 
to complete appropriate remedial coursework. Appli- 
cants may enroll in program courses when identified 
academic deficiencies are not prerequisites for suc- 
cessful completion of the program course. Students may 
or may not be eligible for financial aid during this period. 

If the assessment indicates that the applicant is unlikely 
to achieve success at Ivy Tech, at that point in time, he 
or she will be referred to an appropriate community 
resource offering the needed assistance. The applicant 
may enter the admissions process at a later date, fol- 
lowing completion of skills upgrading. 

Assessment testing may be waived if the applicant sub- 
mits either: 

(a) an official transcript from an accredited post- 
secondary institution indicating achievement 
consistent with Ivy Tech's admission standards; 

(b) acceptable standardized test scores (i.e., SAT, 
ACT). 

The College reserves the right to guide the enroll- 
ment of students in particular programs or courses on 
the basis of past academic records, vocational/tech- 
nical counseling, and testing. 



Students seeking admission to certain health occu- 
pation programs may be requested to take part in spe- 
cific pre-enrollment assessments and/or interviews to 
fulfill College or external agency requirements. Certain 
prerequisites, such as health examinations, may be 
required before enrolling in specific programs or courses. 

Basic Skills Advancement Program 
Services 

Ivy Tech technical institutes and major instructional centers 
offer Basic Skills Advancement Programs to help insure 
the success of students in the completion of their edu- 
cational goals. This supplemental program is designed 
for students enrolled in regular programs or courses at 
the College who are encountering academic difficulty 
or have been identified as having encountered aca- 
demic difficulty in the past. Ivy Tech is concerned about 
the success of its students, and this program is designed 
to insure that every student has had the opportunity to 
be successful. 

Services provided through the Basic Skills Advance- 
ment Program include diagnostic testing and assess- 
ment, financial aid counseling, career counseling, 
placement services and instruction. The need for these 
services may be identified at the time of admission; 
however, a student may utilize any or all services upon 
encountering academic difficulty during a course of study. 
Professional basic skills advancement instructors and 
laboratory technicians provide supplemental instruc- 
tion in the areas of math, communications, sciences, 
human relations, GED preparation and study skills. The 
delivery of instruction may be a basic skills advance- 
ment course in a classroom setting, it may be offered 
to students one-on-one as tutorial assistance, or as a 
self-paced study in the Basic Skills Center. For further 
information about the College's Basic Skills Advance- 
ment Programs, the student should contact either the 
Student Services Offices or the Basic Skills Center. 

Readmission 

Should a course of study at Ivy Tech be interrupted, 
students may request readmission at a later date. This 
may be accomplished by contacting the Office of Stu- 
dent Services. Information on eligibility for financial aid 
will be available to returning students. 

Limited Admissions Enrollment 

Sometimes the number of students admitted and enrolled 
in programs and/or courses may be limited by College 
resources or facilities — including available lab equip- 
ment and related support, or the number of available 



College Information and Services 



health program clinical work stations. The Office of Student 
Services should be contacted regarding programs which 
have limited access. 

Admission Procedures and Support 
Documents — Degree Objective 

1 . The College requires all students to complete the 
student admission data form, which establishes 
records in the Admissions Office. 

2. Proof of high school graduation or GED comple- 
tion is normally required for admission into a pro- 
gram leading to a certificate or a degree. The high 
school graduate or individual who has the GED 
should request the secondary school or testing 
center to send an official copy of the transcript or 
GED certification to the Admissions Office by the 
end of the first semester of attendance. 

3. The College has counselors available to assist 
students in selecting a course of study at Ivy Tech. 

4. The College recommends that program declared 
students either provide acceptable standardized 
test scores or participate in the College's diag- 
nostic testing program. 

5. Should a student wish to transfer a credit to 
Ivy Tech from another college or similar post- 
secondary institution previously attended, the 
student must forward an official copy of the grade 
transcript or other document from that institution 
to Ivy Tech before enrolling for courses if applying 
for financial aid or no later than halfway through 
the first semester of enrollment or re-enrollment. 

6. The College requires a health examination for certain 
programs. 

Transferring to the College 

The College encourages students who have previously 
attended other recognized colleges and universities, 
adult education programs, and high school vocational 
technical programs to have their transcripts forwarded 
to Ivy Tech so the College can consider them for trans- 
fer of credit and/or advanced placement by the mid- 
point of the first semester of enrollment or re-enrollment. 
Students are responsible for providing pertinent course 
descriptions and/or copies of the college catalog(s) if 
further documentation is needed to facilitate the trans- 
fer credit review. The College will be glad to assist indi- 
viduals with the evaluation of their prior educational 
experiences. 

The College reserves the right to refuse admission 
or to accept conditionally those students who have been 
dismissed for disciplinary reasons from other colleges 
or universities. 

Transferring to Other Colleges 

It is the right and responsibility of the receiving insti- 
tution to decide whether to accept credits from another 



institution. The associate of applied science degree 
(A.A.S.) and the certificate programs offered by Ivy Tech 
are intended to prepare students with the necessary 
knowledge and skills to enter or advance in the work- 
place. In general, the A.A.S. and certificate programs 
are not designed to transfer to other institutions. How- 
ever, some receiving institutions will permit a student 
to receive credit for a course upon successful comple- 
tion of an examination or to receive credit for courses 
completed as part of an A.A.S. or certificate program. 
Ivy Tech does offer associate of science (A.S.) degree 
programs at certain sites which, through agreements 
with specific institutions, are designed to transfer. Stu- 
dents interested in transfer programs and credit by 
examination should check with the Office of Student 
Services. 

International Students 

International students must meet the College admis- 
sion standards and certain other requirements. Inter- 
national students should apply for admission to Ivy Tech 
at least ninety (90) days prior to the beginning of the 
term they wish to attend. 

An international student must also provide proof of 
adequate financial support for College fees and living 
expenses for each year while attending the College. 
The international student should submit a letter from 
an appropriate sponsor, government official, or bank 
official stating that sufficient funds are available to cover 
the cost of the student's education and that these funds 
will be available to the student while attending college 
in this country. 

Handicapped Students 

College programs and facilities are designed to be 
accessible to handicapped students. Each regional institute 
has designated parking and special restroom facilities 
for the physically handicapped. Support services will 
also aid handicapped students with career planning, 
financial aid, personal counseling, and placement. The 
College staff works with The Department of Vocational 
Rehabilitation and other service agencies to assist 
physically and psychologically impaired students through 
available local community resources. 

Students with handicaps are urged to contact the 
Student Services Office for help with their special chal- 
lenges as students at Ivy Tech. 

Student Orientation 

All new degree students are encouraged to participate 
in an orientation program prior to or during the first week 
of classes. The purpose of the orientation is to assist 
students in making the transition to the college envi- 
ronment. Topics discussed include student services, 
financial aid, business services, instructional pro- 
grams, and college activities, policies and procedures. 



College Information and Services 



TEST-OUT PROCEDURES 

Policies regarding testing out of courses vary from pro- 
gram to program. A student who wishes to test-out of a 
course should contact the program advisor. A $5.00 per 
credit hour fee may be charged for the tests. 

The general guidelines for test-out are as follows: 

1 . Test-out examinations should be taken before 
registering for the course for which the test — out 
is attempted. 

2. Test-out examinations are normally completed at 
one sitting (unless the test is offered in two parts, 
i.e., lab and written exams). 

3. Test-out credits are not included in credit com- 
putations for financial aid programs or student grade 
point averages. 



REGISTRATION 

Registering for Courses 

The registration process includes financial aid and pro- 
gram counseling, selection of courses, and payment of 
fees. Newly admitted students will be notified of when 
to register for their first semester classes. 

Specified days are set aside for registration before 
the beginning of each semester. Students should seek 
assistance in course selection from faculty advisors or 
counselors in the Office of Student Services before 
registering for classes. 

The Student Services Office of each Ivy Tech region 
can supply information concerning registration. 

NOTE: STUDENTS ARE REGISTERED WHEN FEES 
HAVE BEEN SATISFIED. 

Open/Late Registration 

Open registration will begin three weeks before the start 
of the term. Registration after the first day of classes 
each term is considered late. Students may register 
after the first week of classes with the permission of 
the instructor, however, a late registration fee may be 
assessed any time after the first day of classes. For 
further information, students are asked to contact the 
Office of Student Services. 

Drop — and — Add 

Courses may be dropped or added during the first two 
weeks of the regular semester. Students may be eligi- 
ble for a full or partial refund of the assessed fees for 
courses dropped during the first four weeks of the semester. 
Courses are not officially dropped until the necessary 
forms have been completed and returned to the Office 



of Student Services. After the first week of the semes- 
ter, students will need to receive the permission of the 
instructor to add a course. 

Student Withdrawal 

From the beginning of the third week to the end of the 
week marking the completion of 75% of the course, a 
student may withdraw from a course by filing a with- 
drawal form at the Office of Student Services and dis- 
continuing class attendance. (Students may be eligible 
for a full or partial refund of the assessed fees — see 
below.) Records will then indicate status of "W" in place 
of a grade for that course. The Student Withdrawal is 
complete when the necessary forms have been sub- 
mitted to the Office of Student Services. 

A student who discontinues class attendance after 
the last day to withdraw with a "W" will receive a grade 
commensurate with the course requirements. 

Further information is available from the Office of 
Student Services. 



COLLEGE FEES 

The College seeks to provide quality education at the 
lowest possible cost. General fees are based on the 
number of credit hours for which the student has reg- 
istered. Additional costs include Divisional fees and special 
fees pertaining to particular courses or College activi- 
ties. Out of state students pay an additional fee per 
credit hour. 

Additional Expenses 

The following additional expenses may apply, depend- 
ing upon the program of study: 

BOOKS: All students are expected to purchase the 
textbooks for their respective programs. The cost 
of books will vary according to classes taken. 

TOOLS: The College furnishes major equipment items 
for instruction; however, in many programs or courses 
students must furnish additional hand tools and 
equipment. 

UNIFORMS AND OTHER SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: 

Several programs require students to furnish uni- 
forms and special safety clothing. 

ROOM AND BOARD: Since Ivy Tech is not a resi- 
dential college, room and board fees are not 
applicable. 

TRAVEL: Transportation costs to and from the Col- 
lege vary according to the distance and the type 
of transportation used. 

For a current schedule of fees and further information, 
contact the Office of Student Services.

Payment of Fees 

All enrolled students must make arrangements at the 
time of registration to pay all applicable fees. A student 
is officially registered and allowed to attend classes 
when all fees have been satisfied. 



REFUND POLICY 

Students choosing to drop or withdraw from a course 
or courses must notify the College in writing using the 
drop-and-add or withdrawal form. The fee refund for 
voluntary withdrawal from a class, when applicable, will 
be processed only after the student files a College drop- 
and-add form or withdrawal form with the Student Serv- 
ices Office. 

The College will refund students' assessed fees, with 
the exception of the late registration fee, on a schedule 
computed as follows for a regular semester: 
From registration to end of first 
week of semester 1 00% refund 

To end of second week of semester 75% refund 
To end of third week of semester 50% refund 
To end of fourth week of semester 25% refund 
After fourth week of semester No refund 

The effective date for calculating the fee refund is 
the date of written notification of the drop-and-add form. 

Certain other fees may be refundable. Further details 
are available from the Office of Student Services. 

All refunds will be issued by check and mailed to the 
address shown on the student registration form. 

Cancellation of credit courses by the College will result 
in total refund of fees collected for those courses. 

FINANCIAL AID 

Indiana Vocational Technical College offers various types 
of financial aid to students who need assistance to con- 
tinue their education. Students are encouraged to carefully 
survey the variety of financial aid options available. 
Students must be accepted for admission to the Col- 
lege in an eligible program. Full-time and part-time stu- 
dents may be eligible. Financial aid is available to eligible 
students regardless of age. The Office of Financial Aid 
will help with information concerning student aid programs. 

Some aid programs are administered by the College 
Financial Aid Office under the policies and guidelines 
established by the state and federal governments; other 
programs are administered directly by a state or federal 
agency or outside organization. A few programs may 
be available on a regional basis only. Eligibility for most 
financial aid at Ivy Tech is based upon the student's 
demonstrated financial need. To qualify for any form of 



financial aid the student must complete either the Financial 
Aid Form (FAF) or the Application for Federal Student 
Aid (AFSA) each year and meet additional eligibility 
requirements (i.e., citizenship or permanent resident status, 
draft compliance, satisfactory academic progress). 
Additional information concerning federal, state and college 
financial aid is available in the financial aid brochure. 

Grants and Scholarships 

Following are the various forms of aid available to Ivy 
Tech students. 

Pell Grants 

Pell Grants represent the largest federal student assist- 
ance program for Ivy Tech students. Since the grant is 
based on the student's need, enrollment status, and 
cost of education at Ivy Tech, the amount may vary from 
semester to semester. To apply, the student should file 
the Application for Federal Student Aid or the College 
Scholarship Service Financial Aid Form available at any 
Ivy Tech Financial Aid Office. The Pell Grant applicant 
will receive a copy of the Student Aid Report in the mail. 
The Student Aid Report must be presented to the Financial 
Aid Office before or at the time the student enrolls in 
order to determine the amount of the grant. 

Supplemental Educational Opportunity 
Grant (SEOG) 

SEOG is a federally funded student aid program which 
enables colleges to make grants to financially needy 
students to assist in the payment of educational costs. 
Applicants must file the Application for Federal Student 
Aid or the Financial Aid Form to establish eligibility. 
Since the amount of SEOG funds allocated to the Col- 
lege by the federal government is limited, awards vary 
each year. 

Hoosier Scholar Program 

The State Student Assistance Commission of Indiana 
may award from one to three scholarships per high school, 
based on the size of the graduating class. Candidates 
are nominated by their high schools. The Hoosier 
Scholarship is a one-time, nonrenewable merit award 
in the amount of $500 for one academic year. 

Higher Education Award Program (HEA) 

Residents of Indiana may apply for Higher Education 
Awards (formerly called State Grants). Applicants must 
file the Financial Aid Form by March 1 preceding their 
enrollment for the following fall semester. Awards are 
based on demonstrated financial need. Recipients of 
HEA awards must be enrolled full-time each semester 
in order to be eligible to receive the grant. 



College Information and Services 



Lilly Endowment Educational Awards 

Lilly Endowment Educational Awards are intended to 
help meet remaining financial need after federal and 
state dollars are applied. Applicants must file the Finan- 
cial Aid Forms by March 1 preceding the enrollment for 
the following fall semester. Recipients of Lilly awards 
must be enrolled full-time each semester in order to be 
eligible to receive the grant. 

Ivy Tech and Foundation Scholarships 

Many Ivy Tech regions award scholarships provided by 
the Ivy Tech Foundation and local civic and service 
organizations. Students should contact the regional 
Financial Aid Office for details concerning availability 
of these scholarships. 

Ivy Tech Grants — in — Aid Program 

Ivy Tech provides an extensive grants-in-aid program. 
Each Ivy Tech Regional Center has a fee remission 
grant fund for students with special needs arising from 
unusual circumstances. Fee remissions are available 
under five separate programs: 



Ivy Tech Grant 


awarded on the basis of need. 


Ivy Tech

amount of the student's financial need, the student's 
class schedule, and the student's family or personal 
obligations. The starting hourly rate will be at least the 
federal minimum wage level. Employment may consist 
of, but is not limited to, secretarial and clerical office 
work, maintenance or custodial work, duties in the Learning 
Resource Center (LRC), or work as lab assistants. Where 
possible, students are offered work — study assign- 
ments in areas related to their career objectives. 

State of Indiana Summer Work — Study 
Program 

Ivy Tech participates with the State Student Assistance 
Commission of Indiana in the administration of a state- 
funded Summer Work-Study program for full-time financial 
aid students who are residents of Indiana. The purpose 
of this program is to increase employment opportuni- 
ties in order to meet the remaining financial needs of 
students who have received state-funded grants and 
scholarships. 

Stafford Loans 

Students who attend classes on at least a half-time 
basis may borrow up to $2,625 per year from private 
lenders, such as commercial banks, savings and loan 
associations, or credit unions. The Federal government 
determines the interest rate on a Stafford loan. Cur- 
rently the rate is 8 percent. The federal government 
pays the interest on the loan to the lender during the 
time the student is in school, provided the borrower has 
met certain criteria set by the federal government for 
the interest subsidy. 

Students begin repayment six months after gradua- 
tion or reduction of class load to fewer than six credit 
hours. Applications for Stafford Loans may be obtained 
from any Ivy Tech Financial Aid Office or from the stu- 
dent's hometown bank, savings and loan association, 
credit union, or other financial institution. The regional 
Financial Aid Office must complete a portion of the loan 
application and approve it before it can be forwarded 
to the lender for processing. 



EMPLOYMENT AND LOANS 

Federal College— Work— Study Program 

The federally funded College-Work-Study Program 
provides part-time employment to students who need 
financial assistance. Job assignments may be within 
the College or in public non-profit agencies in the com- 
munity. The student is required to submit the AFSA or 
the FAF to the Office of Financial Aid, which will coor- 
dinate the job placement, taking into consideration the 



Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students 
(PLUS)/SLS 

The PLUS/SLS program is intended to assist students 
and parents in financing education when all other types 
of financial assistance have been denied or exhausted. 
An independent undergraduate student is eligible to borrow 
a maximum of $6,625 per year through the PLUS/SLS 
and Stafford programs combined. 

Parents of dependent undergraduate students may 
be eligible to borrow a maximum of $4,000 in addition 



6 



College Information and Services 



to the $2,625 that the student may be eligible to borrow 
under the Stafford Loan Program. The interest rate is 
currently 12 percent, and repayment begins within thirty 
to sixty days after the loan is made. The federal gov- 
ernment does not pay an interest subsidy on this loan. 

Veterans' Benefits 

Students who served in the armed forces may be eli- 
gible for veterans' benefits. The Veterans Administra- 
tion, and, in many instances, the Department of Defense, 
determine eligibility for veterans. 

The amount of monthly educational allowance will 
depend on (1) enrollment status and (2) individual en- 
titlement of each veteran. 

The veteran should meet with the Veteran Affairs 
Coordinator at the campus of his or her choice at the 
earliest possible date. The College is responsible for 
reporting the attendance of veterans and certifying that 
they are making reasonable progress toward an edu- 
cation objective. 

Selected Reserve Educational 
Assistance Program 

Members of the U.S. Army Reserve, Naval Reserve, Air 
Force Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve, Army National 
Guard or Air National Guard may be eligible for benefits 
under Chapter 106 of the VA Regulations. Eligible stu- 
dents should contact any of Ivy Tech's Student Services 
offices for additional information and applications. 

Child of Disabled Veteran (CDV) Benefits 

Children of deceased or disabled veterans may be eli- 
gible for veterans' benefits. Students should contact the 
Ivy Tech regional Office of Student Services for further 
information and assistance in applying for benefits. 

Indiana residents who are the children of deceased 
or disabled veterans, or of veterans awarded the Purple 
Heart, may be eligible for a fee waiver at Ivy Tech if the 
parent's death, disability, or Purple Heart award occurred 
as a result of military service during wartime. Inquiry 
concerning this benefit may be made at the Ivy Tech 
regional Office of Student Services. 



OTHER SOURCES OF FINANCIAL 
ASSISTANCE 

Police and Fire Fighters' Orphans 
Benefits 

Children of deceased, regularly paid, law enforcement 
officers and fire fighters are eligible for a fee waiver if 
the parent's death occurred in the line of duty. The fee 



waiver is granted only to full-time students under the 
age of 23. Certification from the appropriate agency 
must be presented to the College in order to obtain the 
fee waiver. 

Vocational Rehabilitation 

Students with disabilities that may be considered hand- 
icaps to employment may qualify for benefits through 
the Indiana Rehabilitation Services Board. The local 
office of the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) 
establishes the conditions of eligibility and awards 
assistance, based on individual need. The DVR expects 
students to apply for the Pell Grant and other forms of 
financial aid through the school. However, if these 
resources are not sufficient to meet their needs, the 
DVR may provide additional funding. Further informa- 
tion is available from the local DVR counselor. 

Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) 

Students from economically disadvantaged back- 
grounds may be able to obtain assistance in acquiring 
vocational training or in upgrading occupational skills 
through the Job Training Partnership Act as imple- 
mented in October 1983. For further information, the 
student should contact the local Private Industry Coun- 
cil (PIC) Office. 

Trade Readjustment (TRA) 

The Trade Readjustment Act provides full tuition and 
fees, books, and supplies to eligible students. Students 
should check with their local Indiana Employment Security 
Division to determine eligibility. 

Employer Funded Education 

Many employers are willing to fund courses taken at Ivy 
Tech in full or in part when the training offered relates 
to the employee's job responsibilities. Interested stu- 
dents should contact their employers to determine if 
such an arrangement can be made. 

Industry — Union Training Funds 

Many unions have training funds available for mem- 
bers. Interested students should contact their union 
regarding availability of training funds for use at Ivy Tech. 



APPLICATION PROCEDURES FOR 
FINANCIAL AID 

Application forms are available in the Financial Aid Office 
at all Ivy Tech regional locations. Because application 
procedures, deadlines, eligibility regulations, and refund 
policies vary with different types of student aid pro- 
grams, interested students are encouraged to contact 



College Information and Services 



the Financial Aid Office at their earliest opportunity. 
Students should allow from six to eight weeks process- 
ing time for most financial aid programs although stu- 
dents are encouraged to apply for assistance at any 
time. The fall semester marks the beginning of the financial 
aid award year. 

APPEALS— FINANCIAL 
ASSISTANCE 

The following steps are recommended to the student 
who feels that he or she has received unfair treatment 
in the financial assistance process: 

1 . Schedule a personal conference with the regional 
Financial Aid Manager to discuss and resolve the 
issue. 

2. If Step 1 is unsatisfactory, schedule a consulta- 
tion with the regional Director of Student Services. 

3. If Step 2 is unsatisfactory, schedule a conference 
with the Student Status Committee. This com- 
mittee will make a recommendation to the regional 
Vice President/Dean to resolve the issue. 

STUDENT RECORDS 

Ivy Tech maintains an educational record for each stu- 
dent who is, or has been, enrolled at Ivy Tech. In 
accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy 
Act of 1974, as amended, the following student rights 
are covered by the Act and afforded to all students at 
Ivy Tech: 

1 . The right to inspect and review information con- 
tained in the student's educational records. 

2. The right to challenge the contents of their edu- 
cational records. 

3. The right to a hearing if the outcome of the chal- 
lenge is unsatisfactory. 

4. The right to submit an explanatory statement for 
inclusion in the educational record if the outcome 
of the hearing isunsatisfactory. 

5. The right to prevent disclosure, with certain 
exceptions, of personally identifiable information. 

6. The right to secure a copy of the institutional policy. 

7. The right to file complaints with the Department 
of Education concerning alleged failures by Ivy 
Tech to comply with the provisions of the Act. 

Each of these rights, with any limitations or excep- 
tions, is explained in the institutional policy statement, 
a copy of which may be obtained in the Office of Stu- 
dent Services. 

At the discretion of College officials, Directory Infor- 
mation may be provided in accordance with the provi- 



sions of the Act without the written consent of the student 
unless the student requests, in writing, that such infor- 
mation not be disclosed (see below). The items listed 
below are designated as Directory Information and may 
be released for any purpose at the discretion of Ivy Tech 
unless a request for nondisclosure is on file: 

Category I. Name, address, telephone number, dates 
of attendence. 

Category II. Previous institution(s) attended, major 
field of study, awards, honors, degree 
conferred. 

Category III. Past and present participation in offi- 
cally recognized sports and activities, 
physical factors of athletes (height and 
weight), date and place of birth. 

Students may request the withholding of Directory 
Information by notifying the Office of the Registrar in 
writing, specifying the categories to be withheld, within 
ten (10) calendar days from the first scheduled day of 
the term. Ivy Tech will honor the request for one term 
only; therefore, the student must file the request on a 
term basis. The student should carefully consider the 
consequences of any decision to withhold any category 
of Directory Information. Regardless of the effect upon 
the student, Ivy Tech assumes no liability for honoring 
a student's request that such information be withheld. 
Failure on the part of a student to request the with- 
holding of specific categories of Directory Information 
indicates the student's approval of disclosure. 

In addition, student records are held in security by 
the College. Transcripts on file with the College from 
high schools and other institutions of higher education 
cannot be released by Ivy Tech. A student needing a 
transcript from high school or another college should 
request it directly from that institution. 

The Office of Student Services will assist students 
wishing to see and review their academic records and 
student files. Any questions concerning the student's 
rights and responsibilities under the Family Educa- 
tional Rights and Privacy Act should be referred to the 
Office of Student Services. 



DEPENDENCY PROVISION 

Ivy Tech reserves the right, as allowed under the Fed- 
eral Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, to dis- 
close educational records or components thereof, without 
written consent to parents of dependent students as 
defined according to the Internal Revenue Code of 
1 954, Section 1 54 (as amended). However, All Ivy Tech 
students will be assumed to be "independent. " A cer- 
tified copy of the parents' most recent Federal Income

College Information and Services 



Tax Form establishing the student's dependency status 
shall be required before any educational records or 
components thereof will be released to the parent of 
any student. 



ACADEMIC GRADING 

The academic grading system has both grades and status 
codes. Grades reflect the quality of performance and 
level of competency achieved by students who com- 
plete a course. Formal grades will be assigned both in 
the middle of fall and spring semesters (at the discre- 
tion of the technical institute or major instructional cen- 
ter), and at the end of each enrollment period. Instructors 
determine and assign grades and status based on objective 
appraisal and evaluation of students' performances. 
Semester grade reports are sent to each student. The 
semester grade report is not sent to students who still 
owe fees. 

In all courses, the quality of the student's work is 
important in determining the grade given. For some 
courses, quantity of work, speed of work, or both, are 
considered in determining the grade. Class participa- 
tion may also be considered by instructors in awarding 
grades. 

In certain instances, a status code will appear on the 
student's record in place of a grade. Status represents 
a condition to which no letter grade can be assigned. 

Grades 

The quality of student performance or competency level, 
as determined by the instructor at the completion of a 
course, is indicated by a letter grade of A, B, C, D, or 
F. Each designation has a numerical value per credit 
hour, referred to as "quality points." The meaning and 
quality point value per credit hour of each letter grade 
are shown in the table below: 

Grade Points 

Status Per Credit 

A Outstanding achievement 4 

B Above average work 3 

C Average work 2 

D Poor, Below average work 1 

F Failing work 

Status Codes 

Status codes describe the state or condition of a course 
appearing on the student's record that has not received 
a grade. Status code indications carry no grade points. 
The types of status codes and the symbols used to 
indicate them are shown below: 



Status 

I Incomplete 

AU Audit 

S Satisfactory 

U Unsatisfactory 

T Transfer 

V Verified Competency 

NW No-Show Withdrawal 

W Withdrawal 

These non-grades are used for the following reasons: 

I — Incomplete 

"I" designations are received by students who have actively 
pursued a course and are doing passing work at the 
end of the course, but who have not completed the final 
examination and/or other specific course assignments. 

To remove an "I" designation, a student must meet 
with the instructor to make arrangements to complete 
the course work. The instructor must submit the grade 
within 30 calendar days after the end of the term in 
which the student received the "I" designation. 

AU— Audit 

Audit (AU) status indicates enrollment in a course for 
no grade or credit. The fees for audited courses are the 
same as those for courses taken for credit. Audit status 
must be declared no later than the end of the first week 
of classes with approval of the Instructor or Program 
Chairperson. 

NW— No— Show Withdrawal 

Instructors will authorize the Registrar to withdraw a 
student from any course for which the student did not 
report for the first two weeks of the semester and failed 
to notify the instructor of intention to continue. This 
administrative action will be reflected on the official class 
list. No refund will be processed. A petition for a refund, 
with documentation for extenuating circumstances, can 
be filed at the Business Office. 

Students can petition to be reinstated by receiving 
the approval of the instructor and completing the drop/ 
add process. 

W— Withdrawal 

A "W" status code will be used for student and aca- 
demic withdrawals. 

Student Withdrawal (W) is a terminal status, referring 
to voluntary student withdrawal by a student beginning 
at the start of the third week of the course up to the 
end of the week marking the completion of 75 percent 
of the course. To be considered officially withdrawn from 



College Information and Services 



a course, the student must file a withdrawal form at the 
Student Services Office. 

After 75 percent of the term has elapsed, a student 
may withdraw (with the same result as indicated above) 
only if documented extenuating circumstances are 
submitted to, and approved by, the Chief Administrative 
Officer or his/her designee. The "W" status code des- 
ignation will be entered on the students' academic records. 

Instructors may also recommend that a student receive 
a "W" status code for student nonparticipation in class 
or student disciplinary reasons, with final approval from 
the Program Chairperson. 

S — Satisfactory 

The "S" indicates satisfactory completion of course work 
in situations where either a status of satisfactory or 
unsatisfactory (pass/fail) has been arranged by prior 
agreement. Requests for this type of grading— S/U— 
must be declared at time of registration. 

U — Unsatisfactory 

The "U" indicates unsatisfactory completion of course 
work in situations where either a status of satisfactory 
or unsatisfactory (pass/fail) has been arranged by prior 
agreement. Requests for this type of grading — S/U — 
can only be made for non-program related courses and 
must be declared at time of registration. The "U" differs 
from an "F" in that quality points are not computed. 

T — Transfer 

Transfer (T) status indicates acceptance by Ivy Tech of 
credit earned at other accredited postsecondary insti- 
tutions. Transfer credit for grades of A, B, or C can be 
granted upon evaluation for equivalency and rele- 
vance. The final authority for T credit rests with the 
Chief Academic Officer. 

V— Verified Competency 

The "V" indicates satisfactory completion of course work 
in situations such as test-out, credit for experience or 
training, College Level Examination Program (CLEP), 
and so forth. Credit gained through this method may 
be used to satisfy degree requirements. This status is 
approved by the Chief Academic Officer upon recom- 
mendation of faculty advisor, following completion of 
necessary verification and documentation of competency. 

CREDIT HOURS 

Credit is described in semester hours (the number of 
credits taken per semester). The number of credits is 
determined by the demands of the course, course work 



and by the number of contact hours — the hours actually 
spent in the classroom or laboratory. 

Credit Hours/Load 

A credit hour represents one hour of lecture, two hours 
of laboratory or three hours of clinical instruction 
per week for the semester. A three credit hour lecture 
course, for example, meets 48 hours during the semes- 
ter (3X16). 

An average full-time class load per semester in most 
Ivy Tech programs consists of 12 — 15 credit hours. To 
take a class load of more than 1 7 credit hours, a student 
must have the approval of the Chief Academic Officer 
or his/her designee. 

Enrollment Status 

Enrollment status is determined by registered total 
semester credits: 
Full — time student 



3/4 time 
1/2 time 



12 or more credits per 

semester 

9 — 1 1 credits per semester 

6 — 8 credits per semester 



Less than 1/2 time 1—5 credits per semester 

A first-year student, by definition is one who has com- 
pleted fewer than 30 semester credit hours; a second- 
year student is one who has completed 30 or more 
semester credit hours. 

Quality Points 

Quality points are numerical values indicating the qual- 
ity of student performance in credit courses: A =4; B = 3; 
C = 2; D = 1 ; F = 0. The quality points earned for a course 
equal the quality point value times the number of cred- 
its. A student who earns an "A" in a 4-credit course 
earns 1 6 quality points: the quality point value (4) X the 
number of credits (4) = total quality points (16). 

Grade Point Averages 

The Grade Point Average (GPA) is a numerical indi- 
cation of the student's performance in all courses earn- 
ing quality points. The GPA is obtained by dividing the 
number of quality points earned by the number of cred- 
its earned. The term and cumulative GPA, calculated 
to three decimal places, will appear on each grade report. 

Under extenuating circumstances, a student may petition 
the Academic Status Committee to exclude up to fif- 
teen (15) semester hours of course work from the 
cumulative GPA calculation. Course statistics that are 
excluded from the cumulative GPA calculation as a result 
of a petition will not be counted as earned and cannot 
be used to satisfy program requirements for degree

declared students. Please see the Office of Student 
Services for additional information. 

Converting Hours Earned and Attempted 
and GPA from Quarters to Semesters 

To convert cumulative quarter earned and attempted 
hours to cumulative semester earned and attempted 
hours, multiply the cumulative hours by .7 and round 
up to the nearest whole number. For example, the stu- 
dent has earned 67 quarter hours at the end of fall 
quarter 1 989 (8902) . The semester hours should reflect 
47 hours earned (67 quarter hours earned x .7 = 46.9 
semester hours earned and rounded up to 47). This 
calculation will only be undertaken on the cumulative 
credit hours earned and attempted for all quarters of 
the student's tenure (i.e., the calculation will not be done 
on a quarter by quarter basis). 

To calculate semester quality points, multiply the 
semester hours earned (rounded up) calculated above 
by the student's cumulative GPA and round up to the 
nearest whole number. For example, the above student 
has a 2.50 cumulative GPA. Multiply 47 semester hours 
earned X 2.50 cumulative GPA = 117.5 rounded up to 
1 18 for the student semester quality points. 

To calculate semester GPA, divide cumulative semester 
quality points by cumulative semester hours earned. 
Calculating on the above, 118 semester grade points 
divided by 47 semester hours earned = 2.51 semester 
GPA. (Rarely will the semester GPA equal the quarterly 
GPA. The student will benefit by this calculation.) 

Improving a Grade 

Students, with the approval of faculty advisors, may 
attempt to improve D or F grades by repeating courses 
(allowable once in most programs). Financial Aid recip- 
ients, however, should review their situations carefully 
since payment for repeated courses can be disallowed. 
Permanent student records contain complete files on 
all activity. The student's grade point average will reflect 
the highest grade earned. 

Dean's List 

The Dean's List, prepared and published each semes- 
ter, gives recognition to students who achieve a mini- 
mum 3.50 grade point average or higher with no F's 
while earning 12 or more credits during the semester. 

Grade Reports 

Final grades are mailed to the address on the registra- 
tion form. Grade reports are not sent if there are out- 
standing financial obligations to the College. 



Attendance 

Regular attendance is expected at scheduled class 
meetings or other activities assigned as part of a course 
of instruction. Attendance records are kept by instructors. 

If personal circumstances may occasionally make it 
impossible to attend scheduled classes and activities, 
the College expects the student to confer with instruc- 
tors in advance when possible. Instructors can offer 
students the option of making up the material missed. 
When circumstances are unforeseen, students should 
consult with instructors to arrange make-up work, if 
possible. 

Absences may be considered by instructors in awarding 
grades and considering involuntary withdrawal. Stu- 
dents who must interrupt their Ivy Tech training to fulfill 
Reserve and National Guard annual tour requirements 
should present official military orders to their instruc- 
tors prior to departure for duty. Students are not excused 
from completion of the course work and should make 
arrangements with their instructors to complete all work. 

STANDARDS OF PROGRESS 

Students who have declared a certificate or degree 
objective and who have fifteen (15) or more cumulative 
credit hours attempted must maintain a 2.00 minimum 
cumulative grade point average (GPA) to be considered 
in satisfactory academic standing. Students receiving 
financial aid must demonstrate satisfactory progress 
toward completion of a program within a specified time 
frame, based on their enrollment status. Also, students 
must successfully complete the minimum number of 
credit hours required for that status each semester. All 
students are expected to maintain a cumulative 2.00 
GPA for graduation eligibility. Questions on maintaining 
standards of progress and academic standing should 
be addressed to the Office of Student Services. 

Special Problems 

The Director of Student Services is available to help 
with special problems, granting exceptions, and filing 
grievances (see Student Grievances). Special prob- 
lems, exceptions, and grievances are ultimately the 
responsibility of the Chief Administrative Officer of the 
region and designated staff and committees. 



GRADUATION 

The Associate in Science degree, the Associate in Applied 
Science degree, or Technical Certificate is awarded by 
the College to students who meet graduation and cer- 
tification eligibility requirements. Graduation ceremo- 



College Information and Services 



11 



nies are held at least once a year. Graduating students 
are charged a fee to cover the cost of the ceremonial 
cap and gown. 

A student is considered eligible for graduation when 
the requirements for graduation and certification have 
been fulfilled at the selected program level. Each stu- 
dent entering the final semester of training prior to grad-

STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES 

Career Counseling 

The Office of Student Services in each region offers 
counseling to all interested students. Students may obtain 
individual counseling and/or assessment to assist them 
in identifying their abilities or occupational interests. 
Counseling and assessments are also helpful in devel- 



oping realistic education and career plans and occu- 
pational outlook data. Students are encouraged to seek 
assistance in selecting an occupation and the neces- 
sary training by contacting the Office of Student Services. 

In addition to the counseling program offered by the 
Office of Student Services, the College utilizes a fac- 
ulty advisor system. On admission, each degree stu- 
dent is assigned a faculty advisor, whose purpose is to: 

1. assist the student in course selection and pro- 
gram planning; 

2. guide the student in meeting the requirements for 
graduation as prescribed by the College; 

3. insure that appropriate technical and general 
education electives are included in the chosen 
course of study. 

Placement 

Candidates for graduation who desire placement 
assistance should contact the Office of Student Serv- 
ices, which will: 

1 . advise candidates of the College placement services; 

2. distribute registration forms for the placement service; 

3. provide occupational information, including 
employment trends and local and state occupa- 
tional outlook data; 

4. assist the registered candidate in preparing a packet 
of credentials for use in finding a job. The packet 
may include: 

a. a resume of the candidate's education and 
employment experience; 

b. personal letters of recommendation verifying 
the student's employability; 

5. create folders containing original copies of the 
candidate's credentials for all registered candidates; 

6. prepare copies of credentials released by the 
candidates for referral to prospective employers. 
Alumni may update their credentials whenever they 
wish to use the placement service. 

Students registered with the College Placement Office 
will be informed of employment opportunities known to 
the regional Placement Offices. 

Employers who register with the Placement Office 
are given the names of all qualified candidates without 
regard to sex, race, age, national origin, or handicap. 
Registered students are eligible for interviews with 
appropriate prospective employers. 

Library 

The library at each region is a Learning Resource Cen- 
ter (LRC). New acquisitions are carefully selected to 



12 



College Information and Services 



augment the needs of the students in the technologies 
offered and for the skills advancement program. 

Special features of the LRC include career explora- 
tion materials, interlibrary loans, periodicals both gen- 
eral and technical in focus, leisure reading offerings, 
and audio-visual materials and equipment. Basic Skills 
Advancement centers are located in the LRCs or a related 
area. 

College Bookstore 

The College maintains a bookstore in each regional 
institute where students may buy textbooks and sup- 
plies. College sweaters, jackets, souvenirs, and other 
items may also be available for purchase. 



STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS 

Organizations and Activities 

The College recognizes the educational, recreational, 
and social values of student organizations and extra- 
curricular activities which complement the institution's 
academic programs. Students are encouraged to par- 
ticipate in any or all phases of the student activities 
program as long as participation does not interfere with 
studies. 

All student organizations operate under the policies 
and guidelines set for the College by the State Board 
of Trustees. Approval by the Student Senate and the 
administration is required of all student organizations 
seeking to make use of the College facilities. All approved 
organizations must be open for membership to all eli- 
gible candidates and must make available to the Stu- 
dent Senate all records of officers, membership, and 
financial transactions. 

Student Senate 

Students in each region are provided opportunities to 
participate in student government through membership 
in the Student Senate. The Student Senate is the rep- 
resentative governing body of the students. Student Senate 
representatives are elected or selected according to 
the bylaws of each regional Student Senate constitu- 
tion and serve as stated in those bylaws. 

The student body membership may consist of rep- 
resentatives of the first-year class, the second-year class, 
each program area and an advisor as established in 
the bylaws. 

The Student Senate was established by students to 
encourage participation in student government and to 
promote College spirit and recognition. The Student 
Senate exercises the authority, unless otherwise del- 



egated, to legislate on student matters, subject to the 
approval of appropriate College administrative offices. 

The constitutions of all student organizations must be 
approved by a quorum of the Student Senate, consist- 
ing of a simple majority of the total membership and 
one staff advisor, or as otherwise stated in the bylaws. 

The functions of the Student Senate include: 

1 . communication of bona fide concerns of the stu- 
dent body and suggestions for improvement to 
appropriate College officials; 

2. approval of those student organizations deemed 
beneficial to student life and worthy of being a 
part of the College; 

3. assurance that copies of the constitution, bylaws, 
and statement of purpose and objectives of each 
recognized student organization are on file in the 
Office of Student Services; 

4. referral of student grievances concerning disci- 
plinary matters or student status to the Commit- 
tee on Student Status; referral of other types of 
student grievances to appropriate College officials; 

5. planning and conducting of appropriate extracur- 
ricular student activities; 

6. submission of student activity budgets for review 
and approval by the regional administration. 

Intramural Sports 

College sports activities consist of intramural sports 
sponsored by the Student Senate. Leagues can be formed 
when student interest justifies their organization. All sports 
activities of the College must be approved and spon- 
sored by the Student Senate and the administration. 

Class Organizations 

The primary purpose of class organizations is to pro- 
mote classwide social activities and sports functions. 
Each first-and second-year class may elect a class 
president, vice-president, secretary-treasurer, class 
reporter, and representatives-at-large for the Student 
Senate. Class organizations must be sponsored by the 
Student Senate. 

Clubs 

Students wishing to organize hobby, social, or special 
interest clubs should submit proposals to the Student 
Senate, which will determine whether sufficient interest 
exists to form or continue a club. The Student Senate 
is authorized to charter the club upon approval by the 
administration. Each club must have the following elected 
officers: president, vice-president, secretary-treasurer, 



College Information and Services 



13 



club reporter, and a Student Senate representative. Each 
club must also have a staff advisor. 

Social Activities 

All group activities of the College must be approved 
and sponsored by the Student Senate and the admin- 
istration. Classes, clubs, and other groups should plan 
and conduct social activities pertaining specifically to 
their members. The Student Senate organizes and 
conducts social activities and gatherings in which all 
students and their guests may participate. 

Professional and Trade Societies 

Student chapters of various professional and trade 
societies will be formed in the same manner as other 
student organizations and are subject to the same 
requirements. 

Housing 

While Ivy Tech is a commuter campus and does not 
operate residence halls, the Student Services Office 
may be able to answer questions concerning housing. 
Ivy Tech accepts no responsibility for locating, approv- 
ing, or supervising local student housing. 

Student Parking 

As a part of registration, students may need to register 
their motor vehicles. Some campuses will require a parking 
sticker from the cashier's office. A special permit is required 
to park in the handicapped zone. Stickers are to be 
displayed in the vehicle while it is parked on campus 
and students are expected to park only in designated 
student parking areas. Vehicles improperly parked in 
areas reserved for the handicapped, visitors, or others 
may be towed away at the owner's expense. 

Student Insurance 

For students registered in credit courses at Ivy Tech, 
the College provides insurance in a designated amount 
for injuries sustained while participating in College- 
sponsored activities. The activity must take place on 
College premises or on any premises designated by the 
College. Students are also covered while traveling to 
and from College-sponsored activities as a member of 
a group under College supervision. 

It is the student's responsibility to report injuries promptly 
to the instructor or to the Office of Student Services. 

The insurance is for a specified minimum amount of 
coverage. It is not intended to replace insurance cov- 
erage students may already have. It is suggested that 
students review their own coverage. 

The Master Policy for this insurance is issued to Indi- 
ana Vocational Technical College and is on file at the 



office of the Director of Personnel Services at College 
Central Offices. The description of the hazards insured, 
benefits, and exclusions is controlled by the Master Policy. 
Should students have questions, they may contact the 
regional Office of Student services. 

An insurance company offers health insurance to Ivy 
Tech students. Insurance coverage is purchased directly 
from the insurance company by the student. Applica- 
tion forms and brochures explaining coverage and rates 
are available through Student Services during course 
registration periods. Coverages and rates are subject 
to change. 

Emergency Closing of Campus 

It is possible that severe weather conditions or other 
emergencies will make it necessary to close a campus. 
Each region has designated local radio stations that will 
announce information on closings.

INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS 

In keeping with its mission and goals, the College serves people 16 years and older with edu- 
cational programs consistent with projected job requirements and personal interests. Ivy Tech 
programs complement secondary vocational, two-year engineering technology, four-year pro- 
grams, and basic adult education programs. The purposes of Ivy Tech's technology programs 
are to develop competent workers for initial employment, to upgrade the skills of those already 
employed, and to provide a foundation of thinking and analytical skills to meet the requirements 
of society's expanding knowledge base. Ivy Tech programs provide skills training and instruction 
in recent technological advancements and developments. 

Ivy Tech programs are designed to meet the needs of the student population, accommodating 
those who wish to enroll in a few classes as well as those who prefer a full program. Credit 
programs normally culminate in the Associate in Science degree, the Associate in Applied Sci- 
ence degree or the Technical Certificate. The College's 50 degree programs are offered in these 
four divisions: 

Business, Office and Information Systems Technologies; 
Visual Communications Technologies; 
Human Services and Health Technologies; 
Applied Science and Technologies. 

Short-term training is available in selected credit courses, in sequences of credit courses, and 
in custom-designed credit courses for local businesses and industries. Also available are con- 
tract training programs, and non-credit institutional activities, such as seminars, workshops, and 
conferences. 

In addition to program and custom-designed courses, Ivy Tech offers basic skills instruction 
for students who request or require academic support and/or study skills to assist them in suc- 
cessful completion of a regular program of study. Additionally, enrollment in certain basic skills 
courses are designed to prepare the student for the GED examination. 



Associate in Science (AS) Degree 
Programs 

Associate in Science Degree Programs prepare stu- 
dents for technical career opportunities and also enable 
students who have an interest and ability to transfer a 
predetermined amount of Ivy Tech credits to cooper- 
ating four-year institutions. The degree requires the 
satisfactory completion of a program of study repre- 
senting a planned progression of learning experiences. 
These technical programs emphasize cognitive skills 
intended as pre-baccalaureate study and provide courses 
equivalent to those prescribed in the lower division of 
the receiving four-year college or university. Students 
enrolling in the program are required to take the Gen- 
eral Education courses with a recognized four-year 
institution. 

On December 11,1 987, the Indiana Commission for 
Higher Education authorized an expansion of the Col- 
lege to offer an Associate in Science Degree. Currently 
the College has approval to award the Associate in Sci- 
ence Degree in Early Childhood Development, Nurs- 



ing, Computer Programming Technology, Commercial 
Art Technology, Accounting Technology, Marketing 
Technology and Architectural Drafting Technology at 
selected Ivy Tech sites. Students should contact Regional 
Instructional Offices to receive information about addi- 
tional transfer-oriented programs being developed at 
other Ivy Tech locations. 

Associate in Applied Science (AAS) 
Degree Programs 

Associate in Applied Science Degree Programs pre- 
pare students for career mobility within occupational 
clusters at the technician or technology level. The pro- 
grams offer training in recognized technologies and 
specialities with emphasis on analysis, synthesis, and 
evaluation. The program content, which is approxi- 
mately 75 percent technical and 25 percent general 
education, provides both depth and breadth in concep- 
tual and manipulative skills. The general education courses, 
offered in the areas of communications, humanities, 
mathematics, life and physical sciences, and social sci-

ences equip students with the occupation-related tech- 
nical and social skills they need to compete successfully 
in the job market. Elective courses, determined region- 
ally, provide flexibility in the programs to meet the spe- 
cific needs of local employers. 

Technical Certificate (TC) Programs 

The Technical Certificate Programs provide training in 
conceptual and manipulative skills for specific occu- 
pations. Each program contains a sequence of required 
courses in a recognized specialty within one of the 
technologies taught at the College. The program con- 
tent, which includes general education instruction, is 
designed to develop competency in the comprehension 
of and technical skills in that specialty. 

Short-Term Programs 

Ivy Tech provides short-term programs for individuals 
who desire to develop competencies in a specific area. 
These programs are less than 32 semester credits in 
length. Instruction is delivered through methods that 
include regular courses and specifically designed courses. 
Many of these courses are based on a sequence of 
learning experiences determined by a certifying state 
or national association or organization. Completion of 
certain short-term programs qualifies a student to sit 
for a certification exam in a specific area. The number 
and types of short-term programs vary among the Ivy 
Tech locations. 

Business and Industry 
Training Programs 

Ivy Tech offers specialized training services for busi- 
ness and industry. Directors of Business and Industry 
Training are responsible for the development of cus- 
tom-designed programs and services that meet the training 
needs of local businesses. Through its offices state- 
wide, the College provides training services in which 
Ivy Tech consults, designs, produces, conducts, and 
evaluates courses specifically prepared to satisfy employer 
needs, on a one-time or on-going basis. The Directors 
work with business and industry, trade unions, and public 
and community economic development groups to assess 
training needs and to deliver training when and where 
it is needed, often in-plant. 

The services provided by the Business and Industry 
Training programs help ensure that the skills of employ- 
ees of Indiana firms are current with changing tech- 
nology. Instruction that best meets a company's specific 
needs is delivered through methods that might include 
regular courses, short-term courses, seminars, confer- 
ences and the use of mobile computer labs. 



As the third largest of Indiana's public institutions of 
higher education, with more than 25 years of experi- 
ence in vocational and technical instruction, Ivy Tech 
has been and continues to be a leader in promoting 
Indiana's economic development by providing compre- 
hensive training services to Indiana businesses and 
industries. 

For detailed information, contact the Director of Busi- 
ness and Industry training at the Ivy Tech regional cen- 
ter near you. 

Basic Skills Advancement Program 

Ivy Tech technical institutes and major instructional centers 
offer Basic Skills instruction and services designed to 
prepare people with skills and attitudes that meet the 
General Education course entry requirements. In addi- 
tion, the Basic Skills Advancement Program offers 
assistance to help students get from "where they are" 
to "where they want to be." Ivy Tech Basic Skills courses 
are non-degreed credit courses, meaning the credit 
awarded does not count toward a degree/graduation. 

Services provided through the program include diag- 
nostic testing and assessment, financial aid counsel- 
ing, career counseling, placement services and instruction. 
The need for these services may be identified at the 
time of admission; however, a student may utilize any 
or all services upon encountering academic difficulty 
during a course of study. Professional Basic Skills 
Advancement instructors and laboratory technicians 
provide supplemental instruction in the areas of math, 
communications, sciences, GED preparation, and study 
skills. The delivery of instruction may be a Basic Skills 
Advancement course in a classroom setting, it may be 
offered to students one-on-one as tutorial assistance, 
or as a self-paced study in the Basic Skills Center. For 
further information about the College's Basic Skills 
Advancement Program, the student should contact either 
the Student Services offices or the Basic Skills Center.

Ivy Tech Foundation 
Ensuring the Margin of Difference 

The Ivy Tech Foundation exists to meet the unmet needs of Indiana Vocational Technical College. 

The Foundation receives tax-deductible gifts from corporations, foundations, organizations 
and individuals. These gifts are applied immediately to urgent needs in each of the College's 
instructional centers which together make up the campus of Indiana Vocational Technical Col- 
lege. Additional classrooms, state-of-the-art instructional equipment, student financial assist- 
ance and faculty enrichment are just a few of the special needs which the Foundation is able 
to fund each year through contributions by concerned companies and individuals. 

Result: the Foundation builds upon the established base of state funding and provides what 
our students and faculty know as the "margin of difference"— that edge of excellence which 
employers demand and Ivy Tech does provide for each student.
